Still time to register: IOE Digital Conference on remote work beyond Covid-19

Join us on Wednesday, 8 September from 14:00 - 15:30 CET to explore different aspects of remote work and how it may impact the way we work beyond the Covid-19 crisis.

What are the possible changes in the world of work after the pandemic? Will workers return to the office and in-person meetings? Will remote work and telework practices remain? What are the needs, challenges, and opportunities? What kind of policies should be adopted, and at what level? These are some of the questions which will be discussed in this Digital Conference and at the launch for the new IOE policy paper on remote work beyond Covid-19on Wednesday, 8 September at 14:00.

The Conference will feature keynote speaker Dr Francisco Pérez de los Cobos Orihuel, former President of the Constitutional Court of Spain, Professor of Labour Law & Social Security Law at the Complutense University of Madrid Faculty of Law, and author of the book on remote work entitled “El trabajo a distancia”.
